qpdfview

Can't "choose instance"

Asked by Olivier Devineau

On Ubuntu 15.10 (with qpdfview from the daily builds ppa, but I had the same problem with the stable version), I am unable to use the --choose-instance argument...

After "creating" several instances with
$ qpdfview --unique --instance firstinstance pdf1.pdf pdf2.pdf
and
$ qpdfview --unique --instance secondinstance pdf3.pdf pdf4.pdf

When I try to reopen one instance with:
$ qpdfview --unique --choose-instance

I only get presented an empty dialog box, without list of instances to choose from. Actually, I also get the following error in the terminal:
QSqlError(1, "Unable to execute statement", "no such table: tabs_v2")

Am I missing something or doing something wrong here?

Hello Olivier,

you are definitely not doing anything wrong. On the contrary, you have found a bug that has probably been there for quite some time. I'll create a bug report and push a fix to trunk.

Can you help with this problem?
